Water leaking from improperly installed sunroof drainage system. Water leaked from headliner, a post, b post, under dashboard, and pooling in the driver side floorboard. Incident occurred 3 times before being fixed. Known issue by manufacturer when vehicle was being produced at the factory. System was not resolved/repaired until attention was brought to the service department by the owner of the vehicle. Manufacturer should have fixed poorly designed system prior to producing, selling the vehicle to end consumer.

I purchased a GMC Acadia slt2 awd 2008 on 5/21/08. 5/31/08 my sunroof leaked, and started dripping out of the airbag holder. The water went into the dashboard into wiring, speakers, vents and then continued to drip onto the floor board. 6/1/08 I started smelling a chemical, which smelled liked a strong odor of propane "like" smell. I have been getting sick and nauseated, along with my three girls. I am concerned about my health, moreover the health of my girls and husband. I also, planned on selling real estate residential property with my Acadia. So, I'm concerned about my future clients, and customers. The dealership, auto town Buick pontiac GMC, 16803 se mcloughlin blv, milwaukee, or 97267, has been unhelpful, due to them "possibly"buying back my GMC Acadia. The sales manager, moon, has been unprofessional and incompetent.

I experienced water leaking and running down the inside of both of the front doors. In addition, the dash lights faded in and out intermittently, the clock loses time, the nav and radio screen blacks out, and the stability trak service light comes on. They "fixed" the water leak by extending the drain hoses on the sunroof. All of the electrical problems were found to be related to the leaks in the sunroof. On sept. 18the of the same year, I returned the vehicle to have a recall on the sunroof drains performed. I advised that I was still having the same electrical issues. A dimmer switch was ordered. On Feb. 20, 2012 I started my vehicle and heard a faint pinging noise like a dying smoke alarm emitting from the passenger dash area. I took it to a GMC center and was told that water had leaked behind the dash, causing corrosion and a short in the ip fuse box. I had to pay almost $1,000 to have the leak sealed (design flaw) and had to have a new electrical block installed. I called and complained to gm that I should not have to pay for damage that resulted from 1) a poor design and 2) damage that should not have happened since I had taken the vehicle in twice on prior leaks which were supposed to have been fixed. It has been three weeks and I am still getting the run around from gm. Now they claim it wasn't the sunroof leaking, but the door. A leak is a leak and it should have been checked on the prior service visits. Apparently the leaking has been going on for quite sometime. I see that others have had this same bad experience. Here we bailed out a company that won't back up its product.

My 2008 GMC Acadia slt2 model has water leaking into the passenger cabin. The water leaks are coming from the seat belt retraction area on the pillars leading down from the roof and also on the pillars at the front windshield where the airbags are located. I also have water soaking the front driver and passenger rugs, it appears water is running down the fire wall from the front possibly down the pillars. The rood headliner is getting wet at each spot where the roof pillars meet the headliner. I am quite concerned about water affecting the electronics, fuse box, airbag deployment and I am concerned about mold. I have noticed that the brake pedal squeaks when I depress it and I attribute this to the water hitting areas it should not be. I purchased this car with 1,275 miles on it as a certified pre owned vehicle on 12/12/07 and I am bringing it back to the dealer tomorrow 12/26/07 to see what they plan on doing to remedy same. I have read of various other experiences with water leaks affecting the fuse box and electronics for overall operation of the vehicle. I feel unsafe. I've read something about a TSB # 07-08-57-002a but I do not see it listed on your site, I will look further.
